Doctor Who: 'The monsters fired my creative brain up'
The Artist behind many pieces of classic Doctor Who artwork said it was watching The Show as a child that " fired up my creative brain".
Colin Howard , from Norwich, created artwork for The Show 's VHS covers, magazines, comics and novels.
For The Last 10 Years , he has been living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and has now compiled a book as a " pictorial record" of his work.
The Artist said drawing was always " a great creative, artistic escape".
Towards The End of the 1990s, digital artwork became more common on VHS and DVD covers - and Mr Howard moved into other work.
But he was able to return to the Doctor Who franchise to work on the releases of.
He Said : " As A Kid I always liked the, I had a thing about monsters.
" In Doctor Who almost every week there was a new monster to scare you as a child and it just fired my creative brain up.
" I used To Love to sketch them down and do My Own versions of them and it's just something that kept me very busy. "
A book of his artwork comes out later this year and is named Timeslides, after an episode of the sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf , which was another show he produced artwork for.
He Said he was surprised when fans got In Touch to say " how much my art means to them, it is just something I never considered would be possible".
The Artist said his MS diagnosis " originally wasn't such a problem".
" It mostly affected my Legs - But I had a tingling sensation in my hands and low-level numbness, " He Said .
" That's increased more and more, my hand is shaking, it's Getting More and more difficult to do intricate fine work, I'm dropping things a lot, " he added.
Professional work had " gone out the window" He Said , But he would continue to draw and paint.
When describing the condition, he recalls one Doctor Who episode he designed a VHS cover for - The Five Doctors.
After one of The Doctors is " scooped up by a time scoop" actor Peter Davison " clutches his chest and says 'part of me is ripped away like a melted iceberg'" He Said .
" That's how MS feels. You're used to doing things and Suddenly You can't anymore. "
